Q: As a recently returned member I know you do not generally like to time the market. Situation is, my portfolio is in the hands of an advisor. I've simply not spent as much as I withdraw monthly and now have a reasonably significant amount of cash in my chequing account. Thinking of investing through RBC Direct or Wealth Simple but using my decisions based on your site for direction.
Question is...leaving the money in the account I'm not loosing anything except through inflation. I don't mind waiting given all the noise and Headlines from Trump. Am I at undo risk jumping in now? Do I wait to see what happens? Do I start to trickle in?
Thank you, Dave

Q: You guys at 5 i used to be high on a buy for Celsius Holdings. It bounces up and down 2 to 3 per cent almost daily but the overall trend as been lower highs and lower lows. I don't want to liquidate my position because of the international growth opportunities for Celsius and the possible normalization of inventory levels of their "healthy" energy drinks with their distributor who is Pepsi. But the trend is not my friend for celsius. I have traded it a couple of times to bring down my acb but even that is making me nervous. I don't have much exposure to consumer staple nor consumer discretionary (I assume Celsius is considered to be discretionary?) so if I cut losses with celsius, what should I consider as a replacement?

Q: It is rare that I ask this question coming from an 84 year old senior, but all the above equal weighted ETF's are presently in my TFSA and can't decide how to invest for the 2025 contribution. Which ETF I should I be adding to the above list or should I be adding a new one that is not in the portfolio?
Also are any of those listed that do not belong in a TFSA?
Thanks for your usual great service.

Q: First, thx for your earlier answer to my questions on Nvidia. I forgot to include a few other questions.

If appears as though DeepSeek might make AI more ubiquitous as the cost of using it would be cheaper. Wouldn't this create more demand for GPUs? I imagine more hardware players will enter thereby creating more competition thus dropping Nvidia's enormous margins. What are the current forward looking numbers? There obviously will be compression, so what do see as potential valuation if this occurs. Lastly, have moved on from the hardware companies to more of the hyperscalers and other downstream companies? Could you list a few safer companies for the last two categories?

Thx

Q: While picking up the pieces from the Deep Think carnage on my tech stocks, it occurs to ask which stocks will benefit from the possible reduction in the cost of AI......can you provide a short list 5 - 10 of potential beneficiaries of that? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Good morning 5i,

VRT obviously the onslaught has continued. I'm viewing this as a potential add. Looking over their revenue, profitability etc.

Despite deepseek and all other noise. Would you wait to see a potential turn or be comfortable adding in this range?

Or do you see a more inherent risk than I?

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: What would you do with the above 3 stocks if think less AI infrastructure will be needed? Take the money and run? Or did they fall enough that they will be ok even if some orders are lowered or cancelled?
